3.7

2017年10月6日

Pixelmator 3.7 Mount Whitney brings full support for macOS High Sierra, adds the ability to launch Pixelmator from the Photos app and save edits back to your original image, features support for HEIF images, and more.

• Pixelmator is now fully compatible with macOS High Sierra• Launch Pixelmator directly from Photos and save your edits back to the original image in your library• Import and edit images in the new, much more efficient HEIF format• A faster and more accurate Repair Tool algorithm, improved support for PSD images, and a number of other improvements and fixes

• Pixelmator is now fully compatible with macOS Sierra.• The Touch Bar keeps your favorite Pixelmator tools and the most useful options always at hand.• Use Tabs to easily manage your Pixelmator windows.• The new Smart Refine feature lets you instantly improve selections with stunning accuracy and speed.• Support for Deep Images makes colors in 16-bit images more vibrant and true-to-life on Wide Color displays.

Touch Bar:• Set the most useful tool options for your selected tool right in the Touch Bar.• The Touch Bar is customizable, so you can choose exactly which tools you’d like to keep in it.• Use the Touch Bar to change color, alignment, and other text properties.• When previewing effects or adjustments, a Show Original button lets you take a peek at the original image.• Use Rotate and Scale sliders to transform layers.• And do a lot more!

Tabs:• Quickly drag and drop layers between documents in different tabs.• Merge all your Pixelmator windows into a single one by choosing Window > Merge All Windows.• Close all tabs except the current one by Option-clicking the Close button of the tab you’re in.• New images open in a new tab according to your preferences in System Preferences > Dock – either Always, In Full Screen Only, or Manually.• If your tab preferences are set to In Full Screen Only or Manually, hold down the Option key when opening or creating new documents to open them in a new tab.

New features and other gems in macOS Sierra:• With support for the Universal Clipboard, you can now seamlessly copy images and text between Pixelmator on your Mac and iOS devices.• Precisely align windows and palettes by moving them close to each other.• Double-click the edge of a window to automatically expand that edge.

3.5.1

2016年8月22日

In this update, we’ve added a number of improvements and bug fixes, including fixes for image exports and the Color Selection, Magic Eraser, and Paint Bucket tools. The update also features stability improvements for the Pixelmator Photos extensions.

• When editing larger images using the Pixelmator Photos extensions, the image would sometimes disappear. Fixed.• An issue with the Stroke effect meant that images which had text layers with Stroke were being exported darker. Fixed.• The preview of the Pixelate effect would ignore any active selections and show a preview of the effect over the entire image. Now, the preview will show you exactly what you’ll get after applying the effect.• Gradients weren’t entirely smooth and they were also slightly transparent at 100% Opacity. Fixed.• When painting over partly transparent areas using certain Retouching tools, the transparency would be removed. Those areas will now keep their transparency.• Pixelmator would quit unexpectedly when opening PSD files containing the Color Overlay layer style. Fixed.• Fixed an issue that caused the app to quit unexpectedly when using the Magic Wand, Paint Bucket, or Magic Eraser on a hidden layer.• With the Magic Wand, Paint Bucket, and Magic Eraser tools, the edge smoothing algorithm that we added in the previous Pixelmator update wasn’t working as well as it should, so we brought back the previous one for now (but we're working on making it even better).• When using the Clouds effect, unnecessary horizontal and vertical lines would sometimes appear. Fixed.• Zooming in the Pixelmator Photos extensions is now faster and smoother.• The radius slider of the Gaussian Blur effect now uses pixels instead of percent.• When dragging to export layers from the Layers palette, underscores in the name of the layer would be removed. Fixed.• On OS X 10.9.5, Pixelmator would quit unexpectedly when exporting images that had many shape or text layers with layer styles. Fixed.

• The smart Quick Selection Tool lets you select even the most challenging areas with a single brushstroke.• The new Magnetic Selection Tool snaps to the edges you trace, so that you can make detailed selections quickly and precisely.• The new Pixelmator Retouch Extension for Photos adds a full set of powerful retouching tools to your Photos app.

Other improvements and fixes

• On OS X El Capitan, the totally redesigned Stroke effect is now up to 15 times faster and much smoother.• Thanks to the redesigned Stroke effect, resizing a selection with the Refine Selection dialog is also up to 15 times faster (on OS X El Capitan).• The outlines that you get when using the Color Selection Tool, Paint Bucket Tool and the Magic Eraser Tool are much smoother and more precise (on OS X El Capitan).• In the Pixelmator Distort Extension, the brush size now auto-adjusts as you zoom in and out of your image, so it always stays the right size.• When using the Repair Tool, double-clicking the canvas would resize the document window. Fixed.• Choosing the Red Eye Tool when editing tiny images made the app quit unexpectedly. We fixed that, too.• When using the Glass, Vintage, Noise, Rain, Snow, or Sketch effects on layers smaller than the canvas, some pixels at the edges of the layer would be stretched across the empty areas. We fixed this.• The preview animation shown in the Bar Swipe effect thumbnail was shown at an angle. Fixed.• While transforming a layer with a shadow, small, grey squares would sometimes appear on the canvas. Not anymore.• The Column Marquee Tool would sometimes make selections that were 1 pixel wider than they were supposed to be. Now they are pixel-perfect.• When refining a selection with the Clone Stamp Tool selected, parts of the red selection overlay that marks the non-selected area would sometimes disappear. We fixed this.• When a text layer was used as an overlay for a clipping mask, converting it into a pixel layer would cause the text to disappear. Fixed. • Sometimes, the coordinates of a shape layer could get lost and this would make it impossible to save or open the document. Fixed.• Improved stability when opening PSD files with specific Photoshop text features.• On OS X 10.9, the Add to iPhoto option was missing from the Share menu. It's back.• On OS X 10.10, when applying Blur effects to layers that don't fill the entire canvas, some pixels at the edges of the layer would be stretched across the empty areas. Fixed.• On Mac computers with a Retina Display, the effect preview, which is shown on your image while a Color Adjustment dialog is open, made the image look slightly blurred. Fixed.• On iMac computers with 4K Retina Displays, when painting with a brush-based tool, moving the brush outside the document window made the screen flicker. We fixed this.• In the Pixelmator Distort extension, clicking the image before choosing a tool would automatically select the Warp Tool. It now works as it should. • Other stability improvements.

3.4.4

2016年4月7日

This update features minor improvements and bug fixes as well as improved Intel HD 3000 graphics card support in OS X El Capitan.

• Faster performance when moving layers in Transform mode• The app would sometimes quit unexpectedly when applying effects that add noise – Noise, Vintage, Snow, and Rain. We fixed them.• Fixed missing metadata when sharing images to the Photos app.• When editing images with a large number of layers, the canvas would sometimes disappear. Fixed.• Fixed blur transparency at image edges. Now, when you apply any effect that adds blur to a layer, all edges that reach an edge of the canvas are blurred without transparency.• Fixed a memory leak that occurred when exporting PDFs (and that makes Pixelmator just that little bit faster).• In OS X 10.11, PDFs were being exported without transparency. Transparent PDFs are back.• In OS X 10.11.4, when painting with brush-based tools on large images, the brush strokes would have small graphical glitches. Now they’re smooth.• When opening images on Macs with non-Retina Displays running OS X 10.10 and 10.11, the document window was slightly taller than the image. We fixed that, too.

Improved support for Intel HD 3000 graphics cards in OS X El Capitan:

2.2.2

2013年10月14日

This is a supplement update that comes with minor bug fixes in addition to the following great improvements in Pixelmator 2.2.1:

A completely new Pixelmator file format that uses all of the today’s OS X technologies and makes your image editing even faster and more enjoyable: • 2x faster: It can open and save your Pixelmator documents twice as fast compared with the previous Pixelmator file format. • Saves in background: This means that while you play with your images, Pixelmator automatically saves the changes in the background. • Faster saving to iCloud: The first image file format to save only the edits you make to iCloud instead of saving the whole picture each time. So it takes less time to save and you have more time to enjoy image editing. • Progress bar: The new Pixelmator file format allows us to show a progress bar with accurate status while opening and saving documents. • Quick Look support: A better Quick Look support that lets you preview your Pixelmator document without even opening it.

A new checkbox for opening images in their original file format. This means that you can now choose whether to open and save all images in the Pixelmator file format or in their original file format.

Improvements

The Effects Browser improvements let you search, preview, and apply effects even more quickly: • Quickly open highlighted effects by simply pressing the Return key on your keyboard. • Each effect has more keywords, so that you can find effects more quickly. • The Effects Browser’s thumbnails preview has been improved, so you can get a better idea of what an effect will look like when applied. • Better organization of third-party effects. You can now clearly see the line separating built-in effects and third-party effects. • Third-party effects now have a tooltip so that you can view the entire title for an effect.

Effects improvements that give you more flexibility in previewing effects and faster, more accurate performance: • Now you can zoom in or out, pan, enter Full Screen, enlarge the document window, switch between Pixelmator documents, or open more images–all while applying an effect or using the Select Color and Refine Selection features. • Quickly compare how an image looks with and without the effect by pressing the Option-Command keyboard shortcut. • The Clouds effect now generates a new cloud image each time you apply it. • Now, you can sharpen images even more with extended values for the Sharpen effect. • The Sharpen effect has a better and more accurate preview on zoomed in or out images. • The Light and Dark effect’s performance is now twice as fast. • The Halo and Sunbeams effect’s preview is now more accurate. • The accuracy and performance of the Black and White effect has been greatly improved. • The eyedropper precision for the Replace Color and Select Color tools has been improved so that you can select colors more accurately. • Improved selection preview for the Replace Color dialog so that you can see what is being colored more clearly. • Effects’ rope now performs more smoothly. • Improved support for Noise Industries effects.

Other annoying bug and crash fixes (issues with the quality of resized images, disappearing fonts, language mix ups on Spanish and French localizations, and others).

A completely new Pixelmator file format that uses all of the today’s OS X technologies and makes your image editing even faster and more enjoyable:• 2x faster: It can open and save your Pixelmator documents twice as fast compared with the previous Pixelmator file format.• Saves in background: This means that while you play with your images, Pixelmator automatically saves the changes in the background.• Faster saving to iCloud: The first image file format to save only the edits you make to iCloud instead of saving the whole picture each time. So it takes less time to save and you have more time to enjoy image editing.• Progress bar: The new Pixelmator file format allows us to show a progress bar with accurate status while opening and saving documents.• Quick Look support: A better Quick Look support that lets you preview your Pixelmator document without even opening it.

A new checkbox for opening images in their original file format. This means that you can now choose whether to open and save all images in the Pixelmator file format or in their original file format.

Improvements

The Effects Browser improvements let you search, preview, and apply effects even more quickly: • Quickly open highlighted effects by simply pressing the Return key on your keyboard.• Each effect has more keywords, so that you can find effects more quickly.• The Effects Browser’s thumbnails preview has been improved, so you can get a better idea of what an effect will look like when applied.• Better organization of third-party effects. You can now clearly see the line separating built-in effects and third-party effects.• Third-party effects now have a tooltip so that you can view the entire title for an effect.

Effects improvements that give you more flexibility in previewing effects and faster, more accurate performance:• Now you can zoom in or out, pan, enter Full Screen, enlarge the document window, switch between Pixelmator documents, or open more images–all while applying an effect or using the Select Color and Refine Selection features. • Quickly compare how an image looks with and without the effect by pressing the Option-Command keyboard shortcut.• The Clouds effect now generates a new cloud image each time you apply it.• Now, you can sharpen images even more with extended values for the Sharpen effect.• The Sharpen effect has a better and more accurate preview on zoomed in or out images.• The Light and Dark effect’s performance is now twice as fast.• The Halo and Sunbeams effect’s preview is now more accurate.• The accuracy and performance of the Black and White effect has been greatly improved.• The eyedropper precision for the Replace Color and Select Color tools has been improved so that you can select colors more accurately.• Improved selection preview for the Replace Color dialog so that you can see what is being colored more clearly.• Effects’ rope now performs more smoothly.• Improved support for Noise Industries effects.
